With the weather finally beginning to change and Elaina growing like a weed, I thought it would be a good idea to begin rummaging through her inventory of size 2T clothes that I had stashed away. Many of these have been passed down from friends of mine, while others I found at a steal and couldn't pass on a sale.

One such item was the cutest pink raincoat with blue butterfly shapes as pockets. As an added bonus, I came across yellow rain boots that had been handed down from another mom friend. Great! Elaina was all set for a rainy day and the crazy spring weather ahead. I just happened upon these items as Eric was giving Elaina a bath, so when she returned to her room, she was ecstatic to find the jackpot of outerwear just for her. My dear husband then proceeded to put the crinkly, plastic jacket and rubber rain boots on our child at her begging with nothing more than her diaper. A flasher in the making. Way to go Eric. After the three of us enjoyed a laugh at Elaina's expense, he dressed her properly and she begged once again to have her raincoat and boots put on again. In fact, she was so enamored with her new digs that she had to sleep in them. Oh yeah. Crinkly, plastic coat and rubber boots. In bed.
